By /
Team Hoyt and The Hoyt Foundation will host the Fourth Annual Team Hoyt Memorial Race, recently rebranded as the Team Hoyt Taper, on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at EMC Park in Hopkinton. The event will feature a 5 mile run, 2 mile walk, and a kids’ race, welcoming participants of all ages and abilities, including runners, walkers, families, and those using adaptive equipment. Set in Hopkinton, the course passes both the iconic Boston Marathon Start Line and the Team Hoyt statue, giving participants a unique opportunity to experience the spirit of Marathon Week while honoring one of the sport’s most meaningful legacies. Whether participants are tapering for Boston, looking for a spring community event, or simply hoping to be part of the energy surrounding Marathon Week, the Team Hoyt Taper offers a memorable and inclusive way to take part.

FEATURING 3 EVENTS:

Team Hoyt Taper – 5 Mile Run perfectly timed to meet the needs of runners as they taper down one week before the Boston Marathon.  We run 5 miles to honor the same distance of the first race Dick & Rick ran together.  Running past the iconic “Yes You Can” statue next to Hopkinton Common.

Team Hoyt Two Step – 2 Mile Walk to show that “two-gether” we can all participate.  Walk to the iconic “Yes You Can” statue and back to the world famous after party.

Team Hoyt Tot Trot – Kids Race Just before the awards ceremony.  Watch our future stars of running as they take the field across from the finish line.
